Moar Ghost(buster)s 'N Stuff

Hey guys.
Back by popular demand, here's some more pictures and details about our packs.
Everything is 1:1 scale to the movie, and all the details are accurate down to the decals. A few liberties were taken given the time and resources we had to work with. There is no gun mount/gun, but there is holes drilled for the adapters if we get a chance to come back and work on it. This was mainly due to time constraints. On my pack though, since there's no mount, there is a sound module where the mount should be. It has a button that when pressed plays the Ghostbusters theme song (I tossed around other sounds, but taken out of context of the movie, they didn't sound right).
It weighs about twenty pounds and the pack itself is mounted to a Army ALICE pack which evenly distributes weight across the body, making the pack feel SUPER light. The ALICE pack was a little harder to find out here in the middle of nowhere, but it's what the original busters used, so it's what we used.
Also, the pack has no working lights, also due to time constraints. So instead the cyclotron lights were replaced with reflectors that mimic lights when outside and with pictures taken with flash.
It was a fun project, and we're really pleased with the results. Next update will be Dragon*Con!
